Timothy immediately sensed Chuck's ulterior motives toward Mia. There was no way he would allow him to enter.
With a stern expression, Timothy retorted, "I couldn't care less about money. You'd better leave!"
If this were Bern City, Timothy would have dealt with Chuck long ago!
Chuck's demeanor shifted abruptly. "Hey buddy, don't embarrass yourself. You're a Zalantis bodyguard, right? Let's see what you're capable of today. Take him down!"
With that, Chuck strode forward with two other bodyguards by his side, clearly intent on forcing their way in.
Timothy remained unfazed. He swiftly gained the upper hand against the two accompanying bodyguards, overpowering them effortlessly.
Witnessing Timothy's impressive skills and recalling his past as an assassin from Zalantis, Chuck's bravado wavered. He became agitated and threatened, "You filthy bodyguard, mark my words! If you dare to provoke me, you'll regret it!"
After Chuck departed, Timothy remained standing in silence, his hand instinctively reaching to massage his arm. It seemed that the scuffle moments earlier had aggravated an old injury.
He waited patiently outside the room for a while, but Mia didn't emerge. Was changing clothes supposed to take this long?
Concern crept in as he knocked on the door. "Mia, are you done?"
Silence greeted him from inside.
Recalling Chuck's earlier behavior, Timothy's worry intensified. What if something had happened to Mia?
Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and entered the room.
Finding it empty, he proceeded to the nearby restroom. Knocking on the door, he called out, "Mia, are you okay?"
As Timothy pushed open the restroom door, he was met with the sight of Mia's bare back, her dress caught at her slender waist.
Timothy stood frozen in place, completely taken aback by the unexpected scene unfolding before him. Flustered, his Adam's Apple bobbed up and down nervously.
Hearing someone barging in, Mia whirled around and exclaimed, "Timothy, what are you doing here? Get out!"
Startled, Timothy quickly averted his gaze. "I'm sorry, I thought there was an emergency."
She had only requested him to take three steps forward, but unexpectedly, Timothy had stepped directly onto her dress with one foot, causing her to nearly lose her balance!
And worst of all, her body had almost been exposed!
Timothy glanced down at Mia in his arms and remarked, "You instructed me to take three steps forward."
"But I didn't mean for you to take such large strides. The bathroom is small; why would you take such big steps?"
"Are you blaming me for this?"
"Of course I am! Whose fault do you think it is?"
"Fine, I'll release you then."
"Wait, wait!" Mia hastily reached out and grabbed his arm. "You can't let go just yet!"
Observing her embarrassed expression, a hint of amusement flickered in Timothy's eyes. "Then, how would you like me to hold you?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
